World No Tobacco Day

Causing more than 8 million deaths each year, the tobacco epidemic is one of the biggest public health threats the world has ever faced. Research has shown that this habit is mostly picked up during adolescence, reasons for which include peer pressure, curiosity, lack of awareness and influence of media.

This year’s theme for the WHO designated ‘World No Tobacco Day’ on 31 May 2020 is “Protecting Youth from Industry Manipulation and Preventing them from Tobacco and Nicotine Use”.

The Health & Wellness Team at #BlueBellsModelSchool conducts an Anti-Tobacco Campaign each year to generate awareness about the serious health hazards associated with the consumption of tobacco. This year they have created this E-Brochure to highlight the enormity of this issue and reinstate the ill-effects of tobacco.
